Story & Background
This "Men's Best Friend", released as a 1ST pressing in 2025 with barcode 602478316616, is a true gem for the collector. Its genesis is rooted in a period of creative transition for Sabrina Carpenter, immediately following "emails I can't send.", when the artist was exploring darker and more introspective sounds and themes. Originally conceived as an EP or an album with ironic and melancholic nuances on relationships, the project was temporarily shelved by Island Records, who opted for the more accessible and brighter direction of "Short n' Sweet". It is said that some melodies and lyrics from those initial sessions were later reworked or served as inspiration for subsequent tracks, but the complete concept of "Men's Best Friend" remained largely unreleased. This edition therefore represents a fascinating recovery of an alternative artistic vision, a lost piece that now, finally, finds its place.
